Cattaneo Upright Piano Black Friday Deal 2026: $29.70, 70% off

The Cattaneo Upright Black Friday deal takes 70% off this Have Audio upright piano for Kontakt, which puts it at $29.70 until Dec 7, 2026.

The maker describes the Cattaneo Upright Piano as an intimate, unique-sounding instrument for songwriting, indie/pop and introspective scoring. It ships as a Kontakt library with 647 samples in NCW format.

What is in the Cattaneo Upright Piano?

The instrument has five channels you can mix against each other:

• PIANO: the main sound
• HUMAN: human performance noises
• SWELL: swells
• RUST: analog distortion
• COLOR: a layer sampled from a vintage claviharp

Use them together or solo them to get something less predictable than a plain upright.

The maker says the two sound design layers add swells and analog distortion, and the Color layer brings the claviharp on top.

How does the Human layer work?

HUMAN is made of real samples of pedal-sustained notes. They kick in whenever you use your MIDI sustain pedal.

Press and release noises respond to the pedal too, so the playing feels closer to a real piano.

There is also a sustain pedal volume control. Engage it and the library reacts to your MIDI pedal like a real one.

What effects and controls does it have?

The tape section is aimed at lo-fi sounds. Tape Noises gives you 6 cassette hiss samples, and Wobble adds the random detuning you get from a wavering tape.

The rest of the signal chain is built in:

• ATTACK: shape the attack to your taste
• REVERB: 6 reverb algorithms
• DELAY: Normal or Ping-Pong, with a time subdivision menu and a level control
• ARPEGGIATOR: adds rhythm and movement
• 3 FX PEDALS: 6 types each, covering EQ, Compression, Saturation, Chorus, Phaser and Leslie

System requirements

The Cattaneo Upright Piano needs the full version of Kontakt 6.6.1 or newer. It does not work with the free Kontakt Player.

The uncompressed size is 10.13 GB, so leave room on your sample drive before you install.
